5 Tips For Creating a Home Meditation Space

October 3, 2019 By Melanie No Comments

This post is made in collaboration with Chase Freedom Unlimited. All thoughts and opinions are strictly my own.

Last month I had the pleasure of leading a short meditation at a local wellness studio here in NYC. It was such a lovely experience and an impactful reminder of the power sitting in stillness has on our well being. Like many things in life, my meditation practice has ebbed and flowed. I’m not one of those people who meditate every single day, although I probably should, and I’m definitely not someone who finds it particularly easy to meditate. 

So why and how do I do it? And more importantly, why should you? 

Let’s use the night of the meditation class as an example of the effect meditation has. I came into the session feeling stressed from the 40 minute commute and the general chaos of the city. My mind was racing on things I needed to do after the class and the many things I was supposed to do prior but just didn’t get to. I was so distracted by my thoughts that I was actually nervous that I wouldn’t be able to lead the meditation.

Thankfully, once I started speaking to the small crowd of women things changed. I closed my eyes. I started to lead them through a few breath counts, which of course I participated in as well. I allowed myself to fully immerse my mind and body into the experience. After just 15 minutes we all opened our eyes and the calm was so noticeable. My stress levels had dissipated and I was no longer thinking of anything except for how much respect and love I had for everyone in the room. I made my way home, unphased by the commute, and had the best night’s sleep. 

This is the power of meditation. The ability to calm the nervous system and focus on the present moment has so many positive benefits, and it only gets better with practice. This is why as part of my healthy home workspace, which I’ve been revealing in parts, I knew I needed an area to not only practice yoga asana but also quietly meditate.

 

There are a few hiccups that got in the way of having my home yoga area and workspace completed in the time that I thought I would. Even though I’ve been using my Chase Freedom Unlimited cash back Credit Card for office supplies (which lets me earn 1.5% back on every purchase), I knew I needed to take a step back and reevaluate the design of the room before I moved forward. After all, this place serves a dual purpose. On one end of the room is my desk that I work at daily. The other part is for doing yoga, filming tutorials, and meditating. Keep in mind this is only half of the entire room as the other half is for my husband’s desk and office supplies. 

I decided to take a step back and split my yoga space into two functional parts. The first being for meditation. If you’re thinking of creating a meditation space at home here are a few tips that I found super helpful for myself: 

  1. Find a quiet and tranquil area in your home (preferably not in your bedroom or heavy traffic area)
  2. Make this space a little sanctuary. Fill it with plants, art, mala beads, cushions, or whatever you need to make it as peaceful as possible
  3. Fill it with neutral and relaxing colors. Nothing that will serve as a major distraction
  4. Light a few natural candles, palo santo, or use an ultrasonic diffuser filled with essential oils like lavender and peppermint 
  5. Keep your phone out of your space unless you’re using it specifically for a meditation app like Headspace, Calm or Inscape. Keep technology distractions to a minimum 

I hope you all found these tips helpful! My yoga space is still very bare but check back next month for part 2 of the entire office reveal. I’m going to be getting removable wallpaper, shelves, and more plants to make the space nice and cozy. 

Can’t wait to share more! Until then, sending lots of love your way.

I’m ready for a very colorful summer and this strawberry rose refresher is def going to be my drink of choice!! It’s sweet, tropical and sooo pretty!

✨ freeze dried strawberries 
✨ strawberry vanilla olipop (but you can use a sparkling strawberry water instead) 
✨ coconut milk 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Add first 3 ingredients to glass, top with ice and strawberry olipop, and finish with a little coconut milk! This would also be a super cute mocktail if you add to a smaller, fancier glass!

Who’s ready for all the hiking adventures (and cute ‘fits) this summer?! 🙋‍♀️ 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let me tell you how fast I RAN to @dickssportinggoods at the Park Meadows mall to pick up new hiking outfits from my favs at @fpmovement. You can now find them in the majority of DICK’S Sporting Goods stores nation-wide! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be sure to head to my stories to see the full haul and shop these super cute and comfy hiking pants. I’m obsessed with how light weight they are and love that they’re water resistant. 🥾☀️🌷
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS: for my Denver gals, this hike is Nightbird Gulch Trail in Golden and I def recommend! It’s a moderate trail with a steep incline, great views and lots of beautiful wildflowers

So glad I harvested these ripe strawberries before the surprise hail storm yesterday afternoon. 😳 Thankfully there wasn’t any damage to most of the plants but some of the flowers and strawberry plants took a beating… so looks like I’ll be replanting a few things soon!

We’ll file this experience under #ColoradoLife

I hope you all have a lovely start to your weekend! 🌼

Heading to Vegas for a long weekend and I’m low key surprised at how much I was able to fit in this carryon 😅. Excited to see some of our oldest friends and soak in all the warm sunshine ☀️, pool time 👙 and good eats & sips.

Hydration never tasted so good.💧 You all know how much I love an aesthetic smoothie and this Matcha Passion Fruit smoothie featuring @liquidiv’s Passion Fruit Hydration Multiplier is absolutely delightful. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love that using Liquid I.V. gives this smoothie 3x the electrolytes of traditional sports drinks and provides 5 essential vitamins: B3, B5, B6, B12 and Vitamin C 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

💚 1 banana
💚 ½ avocado 
💚 1 cup frozen mango
💚 1 Liquid I.V. Passion Fruit Hydration Multiplier
💚 1 tsp matcha 
💚 1 cup water 
💚 ¼ cup lite coconut milk 
💚 Ice 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Blend and serve in a glass with coconut cream. If you’re feeling a little ✨extra✨ garnish with mint and an edible flower! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pro Tip: if you want to cut down on the sweetness of the smoothie, I recommend using ½ banana and ½ cup frozen mango.

After a long winter in the home gym, I think outdoor workouts have just become my favorite thing ever. ☀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As much as I love the fresh air and sunshine, suncare is always top of mind! I’ve been loving @cayskin’s entire collection and use their Face and Body Lotions, Body Oil, and Lip Balm – all with SPF 30, daily. It leaves my skin feeling so nourished, glowy and ready to be out in the sunshine. 💛✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fun fact - Cay Skin founder @winnieharlow uses all these products in her @womenshealthmag cover this month for that perfect glow!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today called for a little jump rope warm up before moving into some of my favorite yoga sculpt exercises and cooling down with some gentle stretches. I hope this encourages you to switch things up and take your workout outdoors this weekend!
